Mummy, sis and nephew with me!
My $7 tunic! Cheap and good! Hahaha…

First stop visiting at my aunt’s house and the star is always Toto!! Ten years old already but still very handsome, energetic and super hyper!

He got so excited that my aunt put him into his room. Yes. He’s like a human and has got a room of his own. The whole room to himself! Toto’s a happy furkid!
Of course Toto wasn’t happy that he got locked it and was making a lot of noise… Of course he got his way… Hahaha…

Toto’s let out to play in less than a minute… so funny…

Asking for a belly rub!

Then he decided to come and sit beside me on the sofa… he fell asleep shortly… SUPER ADORABLE…
And then to another aunt’s house!


Bak Kwa is loves……


My family… Must mahjong… Everywhere they go there’s mahjong…
I only know a little bit…
So sad that we all had to go to school/go to work on the third day…. Totally no mood. Third day is the day my relatives comes to my place, but it wasn’t as fun this year since most had to work and the little ones had to go to school.
But Dragon year is definitely a good year!!! Looking forward!

Eyeliner and eyeshadow! 2 items I love since I love eye makeup! And I wanna thank Sasa for sponsoring the eye makeups! (read my post on Sasa’s Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara here!)
Cyber Colors Auto Glitter Eyeliner Pen

01 Black

Glittery black!

Natural lighting
Lined it on my upper and lower lash line

Added falsies on!
Light makeup!
The pencil is soft enough and hence it glides on easily. I expected lots of smudging since its in pencil form but there wasn’t. But I have to advise that my skin is kinda dry so I don’t really get smudges on my eye makeup a lot. I love the glitters, though I would love it more if it was more obvious! Would be perfect for those of you who love just a hint of glitter! So overall its rather pretty!
Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow

No 12 Black Pearl

Love the colour and the glitter! Lots of glitter and shine!

Day makeup: lightly dust Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow in Black Pearl in the eye socket. Heavier closer to the lash line and just a dash of higher up since its a day makeup.

Ta-da!
Just the Cyber Colors Auto Glitter Eyeliner Pen in Black, Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow in Black Pearl, a pair of falsies and some natural colour lipgloss!
Cyber Colors Gemstone Mono Eyeshadow is easy to apply and blend. I tried it both with a sponge tip applicator and my little finger and it went on my eyelids quite well! I don’t recommend a brush, a little difficult to pick up the colour! Love its effects LOTS!

Something more drama… bolder lips!
I would add on to the intensity of the eyeshadow for a night look and perhaps extend the eyeliner for the kitty eye effect. Versatile!
You can get these 2 products from any Sasa outlets! Do like their Facebook Page for updates on promotions or new products!!

And why are u hiding behind me… Hahahah…
Decided to watch a movie in the evening and headed to town to meet bro for Jack and Jill!

Meal before movie at Apple Bees…
I was surprised that town was quite crowded, and quite a number of shops and eateries were opened! Totally unlike the Singapore ghost town during the CNY periods when we were kids…

Yummy tacos…
Totally un-CNY food… But still delicious!


I was craving for cheesy stuff and ordered the Three Cheese Penne… or something like that…

Bro’s order…

Bro pushed his empty plate closer to mine to take a pic to post on twitter… I realized he was doing a comparison on our speed of eating…
Anyway I couldn’t finish my food so bro helped to finish half of them… and he fell sick the next day…
*guilty….*
To which he tweeted:

Hahahah! I never! I always try to get help!

But…there’s always space for desserts! <3
Happy CNY! Shall do my Day 2 post tmr!
I shall forget about my backdated post these few days although I always NEED to blog in chronological order. Hahah… Its the festive mood now! These few days its all gonna be CNY posts!

When I saw this photo… it just reminds me of the very 70s or 80s photos with that very standard type of pose… hahahah…. You know? The 鳳飛飛 type… Hahahaha…

Huat ah! 恭喜發財!大家都要幸福快樂!
I’ve been stealing food from the dinner table since noon time…It was too yummy to resist! Waited for everyone to come home before we start the reunion dinner…

Our family doesn’t like steamboat. Because my mum is a great cook! She whipped up ALL of these, all by herself!

Mummy knew that I’ve been craving for crabs so she cooked these specially for me.

My favourite and a must have for CNY every year…. Special meatballs!
Didn’t managed to take many photos cos my hands were so dirty and busy with the crabs…
After the meal, the “Nick Hair Salon” open shop!!! My brother-in-law gotta cut everyone’s hair! Muahaha…

Nick cutting hair for his mum!
Then it was my sister’s turn, then my nephew’s turn… then my turn!

Me getting my hair cut…

My sis n my cute niece!

I’ll give Kele a red packet with hay inside every year to wish my little darling happiness and good health! My sis wanted to give him one too!

Which nail belongs to me?

My son with his 2 red packets!
Happy CNY!! Enjoy your CNY for the next few days! Eat and be merry and have a great year ahead!

Remember I used to have big curls in my hair?

And suddenly it became sleek straight last December?
Thanks to Mucota for the invite to demo the latest Japanese technology, the Dyna. It’s not rebonding, but yet treats and permanently straightens my hair.

4) Can be use after you colour your hair
5) If you think your hair is too voluminous, you can down the volume with it
6) Its safe to use!



And there’s different DYNA products for different hair types, or if you want to achieve a difference look. Leave t to you hairstylist to choose the appropriate one for you!
My treatment at Prime Group Asia

Before: My curls!

See my very damaged and frizzy hair…
If you have been following my blog you would know that my hair is very damaged and dry with all the chemical processes…

And it was only a day before this DYNA treatment that I bleached and coloured the inner layers of my hair…

During the treatment!

The smoothness is so obvious! Do I have to say more?

Completed! I love how my hair looks so healthy and shiny! Its straightened without damaged to the hair… Instead my hair became healthier now even though I straightened it. And its permanent straightening, not temporary!

A photo with the Prime Group Asia team! Thanks a lot!!

Ever tried a battery operated mascara? This is my first time and I’m pretty impressed!

Thanks to Sasa for sponsoring the Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara!

How to use it:



Just press the button and the mascara wand will start to rotate (clockwise). Press it another time and it will change it’s rotating direction (anti-clockwise) so that we can use it effectively on the upper and lower lashes!

Love the way the bristles are designed and it helps to coat the individual lashes and prevents clumping…

With one coat of mascara

More coats! U all know I love voluminous lashes!

And more coats on the lower lashes too!
I love the rotating wand and how easy it is to use! Can all mascaras be battery operated with the automatic rotating wands? All I have to do is the curl my lashes with a curler and let the rotating mascara wand do its job. I do not need to apply mascara in with that zig-zag action to voluminize them and risk the clumps. Love it and thumbs up! Both thumbs! \(^^)/ <3
I think I shall buy this as a gift for my girlfriends next time. The girls shouldn’t miss out on this awesome product!
Loves Sasatinnie 360˚Electrifying Extreme Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara!
Do join Sasa’s Facebook page for more updates on their promotions and new products! CNY is coming! I’m heading down to stock up on my beauty products already!
I bought quite a few knits to add on to my current stash as many would know that its back again!
I was reading January’s issue of Vivi and saw some styles that I like!

Recommended by the super gorgeous Lena Fuji!
Loose fitting knits X revealing a little of the shorts you are wearing underneath!
Seems that denims or lace shorts works best!
Kawaii… and show your legs babes!

Recommended!

Another style that I thought makes my knits more versatile!
Knits on top of a shirt! I don’t think that we should stick to white shirts only. Any design will do! As long as it matches!
Ya i know Singapore’s weather may be hot for knits but you still can try. Buy the thinner types. Forget the woolen ones no matter how pretty the design is or how kawaii the Japanese look in them. Hahahaha… Will get a heatstoke in our little tropical red dot!
XOXO,
Xiaoxin
Claire did her fillers and botox at Prive two weeks back! I was nearby as mentioned so I went to support her at the event!

Claire’s getting ready while sweet Wendy feed her some food!

Asked Min to go with me to the event!


The pretty Wendy~~

The event started shortly after our refreshments and here’s Elizabeth giving us a short intro…

Claire went under Dr Soh’s expert hands. She says that it doesn’t hurt at all after the numbing cream she applied on earlier!

Claire’s new nose, and Dr Soh removed her eyebags with the use of fillers too! Amazing!

Brave and pretty girl!
Prive Clinic is at One Raffles Place #05-04A if you are interested in enhancing your features too!
Happy New Year!

Hahaha took this pic when I was in KL and waiting for Jez to test his eyesight. When there’s no 3G, I decided to play with the photography apps.. hahaha…
Finally recovered from my fever but still coughing and having a husky voice..
Anyway may this year be a good one for all! Happy 2012!
